    since some members on this forum seemed to be severely bullied in high school and or have very deep insecurities, low self esteem and believe trolling someone asking an honest question is a fantastic way to help someone. Let me rephrase my question.

    I have seen several Tacoma’s with a tint look to the oem headlights. I would like that look. Upon researching I came across people using a light laminate to slightly tint the headlights. Does anyone have suggestions?



    Hey guys!

    looking to add a light smoke laminate to my head lights. I’ve searched the forum and have not found any definitive solutions. Does anyone have any suggestions or has anyone heard of or used Rvivnyl?

    Or just buy headlights with black housing, helps save you from hindering your vision at night from tinting your head lights...

    Safety first, broski. I'd recommend @Tacobrew 's suggestion. If you're looking to darken the overall appearance, darken the background. Never, ever, ever sacrifice your safety and ability to see for a little cool appeal. Trust me on that one...

    White. A slight blue tint
    It’s blue lamin-x film
    Super bright LED’s. Wanted to cut the glare for oncoming drivers.

    Doing a proper retrofit is the way OP - black out the housing itself.

    You want the hickory, but mesquite would work too.
